Suno prompt

A tender metal track blending hard rock with high energy and a broken-beat feel at 71 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under an acoustic drum kit with a gated and roomy snare and tight closed hats. Acoustic guitar carries the harmony, fingerpicked. The arrangement follows intro-verse-chorus-outro. A warm male vocal delivers a smooth and melismatic performance. Subtle bitcrush adds texture, with a short room reverb on the vocal. Mixed in a lo-fi and saturated style, foregrounding vocal clarity and melodic lead, built on lush ninth and eleventh chords, leaving a calm and settled atmosphere.

Paste this into Suno's style field. It describes the sound only — adjust anything that does not match what you are after.
